Animal museum, Zoology museum at National Taiwan University, Taiwan.
The Museum of Zoology at National Taiwan University houses mounted specimens of marine animals, insects, birds, mammals, and reptiles collected from Taiwan and various regions worldwide. The collection spans different geographic areas and demonstrates the range of animal life.
Founded in 1928 during Japanese rule, the museum started by documenting the fauna of Taiwan and neighboring territories. Since its establishment, it has grown into an important institution for zoological research and education.
The collections here reflect the diversity of animal life and help visitors understand nature in a broader way. The displayed specimens offer insight into the biological richness of Taiwan and regions beyond.
The museum sits on the National Taiwan University campus in Daan District and can be reached on foot from Gongguan Metro Station. Visitors should be prepared for sloped paths and uneven ground since the campus terrain is hilly.
The museum maintains specialized collections of rodents, fishes, earthworms, bats, and shrews that support scientific research beyond Taiwan's borders. These holdings make it a valuable resource for researchers from different countries.
